    Default What is my car?

    guys i have this problem that is follows.
    eevrtime i want to buy a part 4 my 1989 vn the person in the store calls it a
    series 1. I think it's a series 2 it was built in December of 1989.

    It's not got the original trans or motor in it so I'm not sure.
    can anyone tell me?

    Series 2 was not until 1991. 1989 is Series 1.

    an easy way to tell... if your thermostat is behind your throttle body its a S1.. if its on the front of your engine slightly to the left of your alternator its a S2..

    easy....

    good point but it depends what parts your trying to get for it i think the cas and water pump are the 2 major issues when looking for parts
